LAHORE: The importers of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on Thursday warned of a complete shutterdown and wheel-jam strike from March 1 if the additional levy of Rs4,669 per tonne was imposed on LPG imports via land route as proposed by the Ministry of Planning & Development.
This illogical proposal of Rs4,669 per tonne tax on LPG coming from the land route to Pakistan should be withdrawn immediately, said LPG Industries Association Chairman Irfan Khokhar at a joint press conference. He was accompanied by LPG Companies and Importers Association of Pakistan President Sheikh Amir Nadeem and All Pakistan LPG Transport Association Chief Sheikh Ayaz Ahmed.

Chairman Irfan Khokhar told SAMAA TV.
After the increase, the LPG price rose to Rs147 from Rs132
per kg. A domestic cylinder will now cost Rs1,733 instead of Rs1,553.
